Saint Savior's Being Demolished; Salvage Efforts Thwarted

We have been told by the owners that the heavy machinery will come tomorrow to demolish the building.

HDC tried to arrange a salvage of the historic church bell but when the volunteers who were going to get the bell got to the church, there was no bell to be found.

See our friends at Queens Crap for updates on this unfolding horror-show.
